This one looks best since most of the cons end up not applying.  Attached 
patches implement this.  xf86drmCompat.c has been dropped from libdrm (still 
there just not built).  The default target in drm/libdrm will now build 
libdrm.so.  Also did some visibility cleanups on libdrm while I was in the 
area.  Tested on mga, works just fine.

libdrm.so installs into /lib since in a solo world we'll want it before /usr 
is mounted.  Also gave it a real soname so we can install multiple API 
versions in parallel should the need ever arise.

If I add the X module info pieces, libdrm might be usable on the server too, 
at least under dlloader.
